This Is Madness But . . . . . .
Discussion
I’m planning to replace my BMW next March\April. The way the world is going I’m thinking that might be my last chance to buy a proper high performance petrol car. That brought me to thinking about a new 911s. On the configurator I got to around £107K so not exactly cheap. I have the cash to buy the car but will probably go for PCP deal with a big deposit so that I can return the car at the end of the agreement without the risk of huge depreciation for petrol cars.
It looks like the insurance will come in at around £1100.
Any thoughts on other costs such as servicing & tyres etc? I’ll be doing about 10,000 miles a year for probably 3 years.

That’s no longer a thing. Well it wasn’t when I ordered my 718 at the end of August.
It is most definitely still a thing. I tried to order a 992 last week and was told it was still in place, and there is no way I would sign up to that given what is currently going on with the muppets in charge.bad company said:

This for my 991 but unlikely 992 would be much different (includes VAT, services include brake fluid change, all work done at OPC - you may be able to scrimp if you've access to a local specialist):20,000 mile service: £779
40,000 mile service: £1,335
2 x rear tyres, 305/30x20 PZero N1, after Pirelli rebate: £602
2 year warranty extension (from 3 years to 5 years): £1,840
If you're only keeping it for 30,000 miles / 3 years, then you'll probably get away with just the £779 service and £602 for 2 rear tyres.

There's a LOT of fantastic almost-new cars for that money!
If you're going to go out with a bang car-wise, why not a Ferrari FF or something else much madder/wild than a new 911? Or even a bonkers version?
I take your point but it’s going to be my every day driver. There’s some essentials for me such as heated seats & steering wheel, non black interior and other stuff.

I’ll want what I want.

I have been in the same position as you regarding funding cars and tried the “ Let’s see how attractive PCP looks with a big deposit” strategy....doesn’t work. The Business Manager at the OPC did explain it to me but the way they work it you are not really rewarded for putting a load of money upfront and getting a decent GFV. That’s not the way the model works ! Designed for people with relatively low deposits to the value of the car to keep their monthly payments down etc It looks like the insurance will come in at around £1100.

on a PCP we would be able to get a balloon circa £49,300 that would make payments around the £365 mark with a £55k deposit.
Apparently they based on 7% APR which is too high. I’ll take another look when I get home next week.

Most of it is depreciation which you cannot escape. The 3 year cost for buying at £107K and selling at £49K are ...
Pay the whole amount with cash up front and the total cost will be £58K.
Use the method above of a £55K deposit and the total cost will be £68K.
Pay nothing up front and do it all on finance and the total cost will be £75K.
The above uses 7% APR for options 2 and 3.

That pretty much sums up where I’m at in terms of cash v pcp.
The other issue as discussed further up the thread is the possible Brexit surcharge. I think that’d be a deal breaker.
Yeah I’m refusing to place an order till that is all sorted. The thought of paying an extra £11k more than other people would really take the shine off the new car experience! Unfortunately I’m being quite specific about my spec so no used cars are even close.The other issue as discussed further up the thread is the possible Brexit surcharge. I think that’d be a deal breaker.
